CD Projekt Red, the developers of Cyberpunk 2077 , released a new gameplay video for the upcoming game on Cyberpunk ’s YouTube channel today.
The video showcases gameplay running on a PlayStation 4 Pro. It then shifts to showing the game running on a PlayStation 5.
A difference between the two versions is noticeable, with the PlayStation 5 version harnessing the next-gen technology built into the newly released console to provide tangible improvements.

WHAT THIS MEANS
The improvements in the PlayStation 5 version of Cyberpunk 2077 correspond to other backwards compatible games on the next generation of consoles. Load times in multiple games are noticeably faster on PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series of consoles. Graphical fidelity and frame rates are also improved, allowing for a more “next-gen” experience with current generation titles via backwards compatibility. This video highlights those improvements for Cyberpunk 2077 , showing more details in textures.
With fully-realized next generation versions of Cyberpunk 2077 on the way, fans can anticipate even further enhancements. Ray-tracing is not supported at launch, but will be included down-the-line via a patch for PC. It’s possible that the next-gen console versions of Cyberpunk 2077 will also receive the ray-tracing patch, but that’s still not confirmed. Overall, however, the next-gen upgrades will likely pack a more impressive punch than the current-gen versions running on next-gen hardware.
